2020 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 430i xDrive Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our technicians commonly see a handful of persistent codes on the 2020 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 430i xDrive: P0171/P0174 fuel trim lean conditions, P0300–P0304 misfire codes, P0130–P0167 oxygen sensor or catalytic converter issues, and P0420 related to emissions efficiency. Ignoring these codes can escalate repair costs — a simple sensor replacement when caught early often runs far less than the later expense of damaged catalytic converters, increased fuel consumption, or engine damage that leads to costly repairs. We prioritize clarity: when you bring your vehicle here, we diagnose with factory-grade tools, provide a clear estimate, and explain immediate versus long-term costs so you can decide with confidence. Our BMW-certified technicians use OEM parts and adhere to manufacturer procedures, delivering reliability and preserving your vehicle’s warranty and resale value.
